Solution

The correct option is C chlorophytes, because of similarities in chloroplasts and accessory pigments
Chlorophyta is the green algae that contain the pigment chlorophyll A and chlorophyll b in the well-defined chloroplast. Plants are considered to have evolved from Chlorophyta because plants are green in color and they have chlorophyll A and chlorophyll b pigment just like the Chlorophyta family.
There is well-defined chloroplast which stores this pigment in plants.
So, the correct option is 'chlorophytes, because of similarities in chloroplasts and accessory pigments'
